With the old code, the edata passed to the driver has edata.cmd set to
ETHTOOL_GEEE.

Here, its not set. I don't know if it makes a difference, if any
driver actually looks at it. If you reviewed all the drivers and think
this is O.K, i would suggest a comment in the commit message
explaining this.
